It's the end of the week so it's time for Fab Friday. Too keep it light and fun I have a video of my own to share.
For what ever reason Duke seems to think what he has to say is much more important than what John does. Sorry about the quality of this video, I am still learning the ins and outs of the camera.

Love at first kiss
My first bird was not a large parrot. In fact, she was a small, brightly colored beautiful Sun Conure named Romeo. (We found out later that “he” was a “she”) Romeo was a beautiful bird. Not just her brilliant coloring but her personality was the sweetest of any bird I have ever had.
"Whose a pretty bird?"
She was a kisser. The first time I met her she jumped off her stand climbed up my shirt and kissed me, over and over and over. It was an instant love between us. Every time I went to the store she wanted to be on me and I, of course, wanted to hold her. We were fast friends. A bond between human and bird that I have not had since. She was very special to me.
In some ways Romeo was a typical Sun Conure. She could be very loud. This usually happened when I was on the phone or doing something that did not include her when she wanted to be included.
"OMG! You're on the phone!!"
Romeo was full of personality, more then some of the larger birds that I have now. In the short time we have had together, she has made a lasting impression on me. I will always remember the small yellow bird that stole my heart.
RIP Romeo 200?-2007

Amazon Rivalry
As I said yesterday, Duke was moved inside last weekend as was doing great. So last night we brought Echo inside. We figured he would have been the easier of the two but Duke and Echo have this rivalry thing that we thought might cause an issue.
Well maybe Rivalry isn't the right word. Duke is -very- interested in Echo. Obsessed actually. Echo on the other hand feels threatened by Duke, and there for gets rather grumpy and nippy if he thinks Duke is too close. (“Too close” being anywhere Echo can see him.)
Mr. Grumpypants
All things considered, the night went pretty well. This morning as I went to take Duke out of his cage He ran up to me and said “Here we go!” This is a new phrase for me, he has never said it to me before. It was too clear for it to be just learned so he must have picked it up in the ten years of life before he got here.
Echo has also picked up a new phrase. “Oh, come on!” Which he just screamed from the other room. I will have to thank my husband for that one. He yells it the same way when things are not going the way he wants them to. Seems Echo has grasped onto the meaning behind the phrase as well.
